I noticed this, too, and found the change that caused it.

Now that I think more about it, I see a reasonable way to make it work again:

verticalSpace = {
       \override Staff.Clef #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-20 . 20)
       \override Staff.Clef #'vertical-skylines = #'() }

This is good, because it minimum-X-extent is very useful for getting extra
space just where you need it.
